Highlights: This Antarctica expedition leaves Invercargill bound for East Antarctica, one of the most isolated places on the planet. Here the massive polar ice cap rolls down to a sea rich in wildlife, all and any available rock is seized upon for breeding by this wildlife. It is also where many Antarctica expeditions, both heroic and modern day, have landed and where explorers lived in the face of nature.

Ninety-seven years ago Mawson, David, and Mackay were the first to reach the South Magnetic Pole (in January 15th, 1909) after trekking some 1000 miles. To celebrate that achievement you will sail to the South Magnetic Pole. This Antarctica expedition is an opportunity to experience a seldom-visited part of Antarctica, rich in history and wildlife.
